You know, PbP, I really like those! Kinda military, kinda edgy. On the other hand, my imprimatur might be a cautionary factor. . .

Thanks for the input. Yes there is something appealing about them for sure. To be honest I think I'm a bit turned off by the Chanel hype right now and I think I'm reacting from that frame of mind. I'm on tpf Instagram Pinterest chanel overload. Do you think they seem too in your face chanel? The black are probably less so than the two tone cream and beige version.
This cafe thread is always so helpful. You guys have great taste, you are honest and I appreciate that you don't fall for a bunch of hype or the buy buy buy mentality. Your feedback is always appreciated.
Thank you, lulilu and PbP. My style is. . . esoteric. 
PbP, I don't think those scream "Chanel"--though in the iconic two-tone, they might. I think the all-black version read designer, but not necessarily a particular designer.

I'm liking the C booties for the practical aspect - decent heel, closed toe, nice ankle support, I could wear them out in a couple of seasons of daily rotation even if they are very specific. Would work with skirts, ankle pants etc. Now to find my size...to try.
I passed on the gorgeous CLs as I want to be able to *walk* the streets in comfort. 60 would have been great, 85s are office-only shoes for me.
But yes, that thread is moving fast / lots of things. I must say, after Nicole pointed out that the jersey trim on the Velcro jackets is thin, I fell a little out of love with it.
I did get a couple of small wish list items from H as belated birthday gifts so I'm happy. No big B but oh well - I haven't really hit my target to earn it yet, either. It will come in due time.

I just ordered the Chanel boots from saks. Can you guys do saks phone orders and use ******? I'll get back $115 because I signed up for in store shopping on ******. It adds up. I can try them at home pressure free and just return them if I don't love them.
I agree that shoes don't have to be forever items. By nature they wear out over time and they can be used as a relatively inexpensive way to make an outfit look on trend. They are the throw pillows of fashion.
My louboutin cadrillas came in the correct size. I like them a lot. There is still a bit of toe cleavage which I don't mind but not as much as the other size.
Happy birthday. I hope you had a wonderful day and I'm happy to hear that you have some new goodies.

$725 US. Chanel shoes aren't online but if you sign up for in store shopping and then call the store and have them sent to you I think you should get the credit. I just signed up for in store shopping.
Definitely don't buy them if you will not use them. Keep waiting for something that is perfect
It is hot and humid here in the northeast! I noticed some new things on the H website. I called my SA and asked her to bring in the Pirouette au Galop in marine to try.
Thinking about cashmere shawls in my very air conditioned office! Pbp, I might order in those CL cadrillas for work. I have several pairs of the simple pumps with the thinner heel but these give a good base for pants I think.

It is like pea soup out there today. Yesterday was so hot and as I was heading home in the evening there was the most beautiful cool rain. I got soaked. It was so refreshing.
Yes the cadrilla are really nice with pants and I think they work with a skirt as well. They are really comfortable.
I asked DH for his ranking of shoes 1-10. Espadrilles and any wedges are a 1 for him. Pointed toe stilettos a 10. Roger vivier pilgrim shoes a 5. The cadrilla a 6. Simple pumps a 7. The Chanel boots a 3. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
I am just impressed that Mr. PbP was willing to take the time to RATE SHOES, PbP. Mine would have shrugged--if, indeed, he even listened to the question!
